Zephan's PlaneShift Sketchbook
« on: June 18, 2009, 10:25:12 am »
Hello, I'm known in-game as Zephan Cystennin (a Dermorian), and I've been playing PlaneShift for a little over two months as of this posting. I guess it's somewhat appropriate that my first forum post would be an art-related one, because doodling/sketching is one of my favorite pastimes. :) Due to many factors both RL and online, I hadn't picked up a pencil and seriously tried drawing again until recently.

So far, I've got here a concept sketch of male and female Enkidukai. I hope to eventually post more of other races and traditionally/digitally colored work here as well.


Your comments are welcome. :) Thank you very much.

Hello,

if you would like to help improve Planeshift you can join the "Contribution Project" http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=35423.0. We need people like you who can sketch. There are many items in the game which do not have a 2D/3D representation. If you like you can think of how these items could look and sketch them. That helps people who have to model them.

Honestly, these sketches should be coloured and then replace the outdated ones on planeshift.it

They're just SO good, they embody everything you see in the average RPing Enkidukai player.

Ever consider doing in game sketches for other players ?

ie . take screenshot sketch it, and then give it to them ( not sure , might be able to embed an image into a map ? )

I Like it!  \\o// I like how the faces, hands, and feet were done. It's a nice way of making them cat like and still humanoid.  :D

And that's actually the way the character models are ingame. Good job Zephan! Keep the drawings coming! :thumbup:

Like it a lot.

I agree with the one above, saying that your art is suitable for replacing the old sketches on the website.
Can't wait to see it in coulor. Maybe soon?

Please consider helping with the art-team. You can help the game by contributing your work if you agree with the license.

Good work, i (we) hope to see more

Greetz, Geloren

Thank you for the comments! As my luck goes, now I'm having trouble producing anything I believe is worth showing, but I do have some more sketches in the works (Kran or Klyros was next on the list).

Admittedly, I am more confident with character concepts and figure drawing than I am with anything else, but I'd be happy to help and contribute to the project when I'm able.

This is what some people term a "sketchdump" - a bunch of sketches on one page (because at the time, I couldn't be bothered to separate the drawings into their own files):


A Kran, a Dermorian female, an angry menki, a Dermorian male (actually a doodle of my in-game persona) and a Klyros. Pradon the unfinished-ness, but I'd rather quit while I haven't ruined them yet.

That's what "sketch" means ... leaving an impression that stimulates the imagination.

I am quite impressed by the displayed character attributes and emotions - you obviously got some cartoon experience. They all show some shades of confidence and determination...

Show me a really happy face with such a level of emotional expression, and I ... uhm ...  :-[
